Best Regional: Eastern Airways.

Why? Well, mirroring the comments of others in earlier posts its jsut really good to see a small, independent airline do well and prosper. I know of people who have flown one of their services and they have found them nothing less than highly superior. Had they still been around I’d have said Gill Airways, purely because of their old nativeness to Newcastle.

Best Flag Carrier: British Airways.

Why? Everyone considers BA to be the British flag carrier, lets be honest here! I doubt whether anyone flying from somewhere abroad will have as greater knowledge on the likes of Virgin – British Airways = British. lol.

Best Charter Airline: Thomas Cook Airlines.

Why? Their service has been alot more superior than other charter airlines! They beat the socks off my 6 odd Air 2000 experience, my poor Britannia 767-200 experience and they are a hell of a lot better than the likes of the old 90’s charter carriers like Sabre and IEA. Meals were great, seats were good for the industry standard pitch and the crew were smart and pleasant. Monarch came really close though, the A300 ride was kewl!

Best low-cost Airline: Ryanair.

Why? After some thinking I chose Ryanair because of my experiences with them – punctual, pleasant and cheap, everything I look for. easyJet is an extremely close second though because of their new range of services from my local airport Newcastle. Fly.be actually ranks close as well.

cheers,
